Either leaderstats doesn't exist for a way too long time or you might've spelt it wrong or haven't specified its location well. rabbi99 714 — 4y

First of all, you are constantly defining the local player which can cause performance issues and you are also using an unnecessary loop, try this: JasiuJasiuB is wrong by the way, an infinite yield means an infinite wait not infinite items.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local stat = player:WaitForChild('leaderstats'):WaitForChild('Strength')
stat.Changed:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = "Strength:"..stat.Value
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" leaderstats.Parent = player local strength = Instance.new("NumberValue") strength.Name = "Strength" strength.Parent = leaderstats ADAM6O00 4 — 4y
